Burnout

As I have shared with you before, I have huge issues with my self-worth...
And the things I am trying to do to help myself really aren't working that well, I think.
Not helpful to have two PD's that undermine my work and depression plus anxiety that second my PD's undermining...
So I am rethinking where to start after this hit my feed on Pinterest.
Maybe this is the place to start?
Beginning to entertain THE NOTION that I am ACTUALLY worthy of kindness and care.
That seems a smaller step. And it seems more manageable to work with. And I am feeling less resistance from my diagnosis in this approach.
I am starting a new journal today.
This will be on one of the first pages to help me focus on it.
Wishing you all well💐
Ps: who else loves Pingu🐧?

Old ways don't open new doors.
I am in therapy two times per week for the next 6 months. And it is quite intense. As I am thinking about my session yesterday, and what me and my therapist discussed I could focus on, this quote pops up in my Pinterest feed. And it hit me even though I've hard and used it before. This time I am really working on those old ways.
One of the first old ways, I am focusing on is not invalidating myself. I've grown up with invalidation and it resulted in two PD's and depression, anxiety and burnout. I wish to turn this around for myself. Choosing a new way of self validation to open a new door to self-esteem and worth.
What old way would you like to change for yourself in you everyday life?
And what new door do you hope it will open?
I would love to hear, if you feel like sharing💐

Thinking about my last post and the comments I got. Especially one. About not measuring your worth based on your productivity. But having worth because you do. Because you are who you are. Because you are. Very revolutionary in my mind... And I am definitely not there yet in my mind. But I would like to be.
And I would like to share this with my fellow mighties: You are good enough *simply* because you exist. Maybe it doesn't feel like it. It doesn't for me. But maybe we can work on it together? One small step at a time.

"She believed she could, so she did".
That's how the saying goes. I even have it on my fridge...
But there is no longer a direct causality between me wanting/needing/wishing to do something and me having the energy to do so. And that has changed what I believe, I can do...
Now I often need a lot more steps or time between the wanting to do something and the actual doing of the thing. And sometimes I never get to the doing. Or have to cancel.
And I am working on changing my perspective, so I don't beat myself up for this. I am trying to adjust my perspective so it fits my reality. But it hurts. I wish I could just do like I used to. But I can't. And I am grieving this...

I am struggling.
Trying to keep my focus on self-care and love.
Then Pinterest showed me this.
Got me thinking about what I can focus on to help myself.
And spending time on TM always helps me.
So: What's your self-love language?
Share in the comments, if you feel like it💐

There is a past version of you that is so proud of how far you've come.
Sometimes we don't see our progress. But if we compare ourselves now and 2, 5 or 10 years ago, sometimes we can see it more clearly. Even the smallest improvement is worth celebrating. I know younger me is proud of how far I've come. I have given myself back to me (a mighty tought me that expression:) and I am much more me now than ever before. And I know that I, for one, am not the same person I was just 1 year ago. So much has changed, two new diagnosis (both PD's), new growth, new routines. A new me. Also new fears, anguish, pain and work to be done. But here enters my newest bonus features: The Mighty and my mighties.

Took my depression, anxiety and PD's by the hand and went to my new psychologist. Only the second meeting. A bit anxious about what we're going to be discussing. Took a nap before I left the house. Picked up a pumpkin latte. Have plans with my kids later on.
Realized something. I am trying my best.
Sure it looks very different on different days. But I'm doing my best and trying my hardest all the time.
I bet you are too.
Happy Friday. We made it through another week.

Hello mighties👋
Inspired by suggestions on my post "You ARE worthy" (thank you all for your comments!!), I am making a list with self-care ideas that can support a feeling of being worthy.
Or at least okay.
What self-care is your go to? Share if you feel like it. I would certainly like to know💐

I struggle A LOT with feeling unworthy. It can be of anything and all the things. So this really hits home with me. Working on feeling more worthy. People tell me I am, quotes tell me I am, affirmations tell me I am. Rationally I know I am. But I don't FEEL it.
If any of you have the same issue. How do you help yourself to feel worthy?
